Monday October 12th

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend! Although Jord wasn't

able to get outside and enjoy the cooler temperatures or the warm sunshine, he's a weather watcher and was imagining good things for all of you. We are hoping the chance to get him outside and home will come in the next week or two.

As Emery eloquently wrote in the last post, we are waiting for the regrowth of the "good" cells,neutrophils. When enough of the neutrophils are back and working, Jord will get to come home for some tlc and rest! We have an early indication this process has started but it is normal that it is slow to gain momentum.

In the meantime Jord continues to feel the effects of his chemo treatment which is no fun at all....he has been amazing in his determination to stay positive and focused through this phase. Patience on all of our parts is important and it's great that he is strong .....and stubborn. Both good attributes for this challenge:)....(but after 29 years of marriage, one of those attributes is hard for me to admit is good!)

Thanks to you all for your continued well-wishes and support. They are uplifting for Jord and the entire family. Thanks too for all your interest in visiting. We appreciate everyone's willingness to cheer-on Jordie in person, however,  our concern about germs ( and the cold and flu season starting) is a reality/ priority so please understand our (my) caution when limiting visits.

xoxo,
